His inconsistency in scoring was more than matched by his inconsistency in physical play.
Lindholm + Pelusso <> Ferland@10% + Jankowski
But I'm honestly not on the deterrent is needed side. I don't see it. I do think some players have told Treliving it's important though.

Right now the Flames in contention for the lady Byng:
Gio
Brodie
Valimaki
Anderssen
Gaudreau
Monahan
Czarnik
Ryan
After 4 games these guys have 2 hits among them. Ryan and Gio each having one.
Ferland has 9 hit and Hamilton for crying out loud has 8. Brindamour was a very competitive guy as a player maybe his coaching pushes his players to be more physical ... Carolina is 3rd in the league in hits. Last season under Peters they were 28th in the league in hits.
The Flames new guys Hanifin 6, Neal and Lindholm 5 each are among the Flames leaders in hits. Tkachuk has 8.
The designated goon does not make up for overall team Lady Bynginess.
